Just like a wedding, the style and content is all built around you. Naming Ceremonies A naming ceremony is a fantastic way to celebrate a new birth into a family, the adoption of a child or the joining of two families together after their parents become married. Traditional Religious Ceremonies may not reflect your values and you long for something truly bespoke that represents your family’s identity and culture. What better way to mark the evolution of a new family than by creating a totally unique ceremony that involves as many participants, poems, songs and promises as you wish. Adding a special element such as a unity ceremony, tree planting, hand-fasting or creating a family mural to symbolically recognise your new family is a great way to mark the occasion. INDEPENDENT FAMILY CELEBRANT Contact Shelley on: 07727 277996 www.shelleybell.co.uk info@shelleybell.co.uk Bespoke, memorable and heartfelt weddings, vow renewals and naming ceremonies As an Independent Family Celebrant, I am fully trained & insured and ready to help you celebrate your big occasion in a way which is tailored specifically for you both. I am not governed by any church or organisation - only your wishes. As a result the content of the ceremony is limited only by your imagination. You can hold your ceremony in the moonlight, at sunrise or any time of day and in any venue. You can be as romantic and creative in your wedding design as you wish. Your ceremony can contain religious elements such as prayers and hymns or these can be replaced by words and music that resonate more with you as a couple. You can create meaning or involve other participants by incorporating special elements such as hand-fasting, releasing balloons, breaking glasses or unity ceremonies with sand, paint or even wine. The choice is yours. Your wedding should be as individual as you are. No two ceremonies are the same and the content is totally unique to you, If you would prefer to take control of proceedings I can help you write your vows and create a ceremony that involves as many friends and family members as you wish. Vow Renewals You may have been married a while and want to mark a special anniversary with restating your vows or you have had a tough time and want to reconnect with the support of your friends and family around you.
